FT Journalists to Ramp Up Action Amid Pay Dispute

LONDON—Journalists at the Financial Times have voted to escalate their action over pay following a breakdown in talks with management, the National Union of Journalists said Wednesday.

The vote came as journalists staged a two-hour walkout Tuesday for a meeting on the pay increase proposed by the FT, which is owned by Pearson PLC. The proposed pay rise comprises a raise of 2%-2.5% for all editorial staff with an extra 1% bonus based on merit.
